		<description><![CDATA[M/S Kristina Katarina is the company’s new flagship. She has room for 400 guests, three dining venues, saunas, massage and salon services at Day Spa Mare, a gym, a children’s playroom, and several lounges.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.kristinacruises.com" target="_blank">Kristina Cruises</a> is a family-owned cruise company that has been around since 1985. The Finnish, family-owned company shipping company has two ships including M/S Kristina Katarina and M/S Kristina Brahe. M/S Kristina Regina, a third ship until August 23, 2010, is no longer in service. More on that later. M/S Kristina Katarina is the company’s new flagship. She has room for 400 guests, three dining venues, saunas, massage and salon services at Day Spa Mare, a gym, a children’s playroom, and several lounges. M/S Kristina Katarina has 193 cabins (450 beds), ranging from large (200 square feet) down to small or less than 100 square feet.</p>
<p>All Kristina Katarina cabins have a shower and private restroom. They also have a phone for internal calls, radio/music channels, and a/c. An elevator is located between decks 4-6. Large cabins have a separate lounge and sleeping compartment, , windows, a double bed, sofa, and desk. Small rooms have 2-4 berths, porthole, shower and private restroom. Katarina sails the Suez Canal &#038; Redsea, Croatia, Greek Archipelago, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, Istanbul, Black Sea, Mediterranean, Madeira &#038; the Azores, Western Europe, Baltic, Norwegian Fjords, Denmark, and Iceland &#038; Greenland. Offerings change annually as Kristina Cruises sail to more than one hundred ports in 30 countries. </p>
<p>M/S Kristina Brahe is a former military vessel, built in Chicago, IL. in 1943. M/S Kristina Brahe has 45 cabins, 5 different cabin classes, on four decks.  According to the official <a href="http://www.kristinacruises.com" target="_blank">Kristina Cruises</a> website: </p>
<blockquote><p>Kristina Brahe is known to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean once during the war under the flag of USA. The vessel was called HMS Kilchernan when she served under the Union Jack as a submarine destroyer at the western coast of Africa and the Gibraltar area. </p>
<p>In 1948 the ship was sold to Norway and rebuilt to become a passenger ferry. Named Sunnhordland, the vessel operated as a mail steamer between Bergen and Stavanger up to the year 1973. At that time the vessel&#8217;s capacity was 600 passengers and 13 cars. </p>
<p>The ship was sold to Finland in 1971 and was named Kristina Brahe after Ristiina, the vessel&#8217;s that time home port. The ship was turned into a cruise vessel by building more cabins and restaurant facilities. </p>
<p>Kristina Brahe&#8217;s maiden voyage took place on 15th May, 1975. At first the ship cruised mainly on Lake Saimaa making two- to five-day cruises. In the following years the cruising area was expanded, first to Vyborg and to the Gulf of Finland. In 1982 Kristina Brahe made the first cruise across the Gulf of Finland from Helsinki to Tallinn and in the next year to Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg. </p>
<p>In 1985 Rannikkolinjat Ltd. bought the shipping company who owned Kristina Brahe and Kotka became the vessel&#8217;s new home port. More cabins were built and the restaurant improved. At the same time more cruises were made abroad.</p></blockquote>
<p>Today, Kristina Brahe cruises “The Czars Route,” which takes her to Lake Saimaa, the Saimaa Canal, Gulf of Finland, and the Archipelago Sea. </p>
<p>M/S Kristina Regina was a traditional passenger ship originally built in Oskarsham in 1960. The ship received upgrades in 2001 including refurbished cabins and public spaces, the addition of a health center and laundry, and a new computer system. Guests had the option to relax in the comforts of the panorama café , the ships “living room” or take in the sights from a restaurant or scenic deck. M/S Kristina Regina’s last cruise was August 23, 2010. she is now used as a museum, hotel, and restaurant ship in Turku.  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The typical western Mediterranean cruises features stops in Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, and Sicily. The ports of call vary greatly, but Barcelona is one of the top stops in Spain. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcelona Spain cruises are offered through luxury, mid-priced, and budget-friendly cruise lines. Luxury cruise lines that offer Barcelona Spain cruises include Oceania Cruises, Cunard Cruise Line, Crystal Cruises, Silversea, Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, MSC, Yachts of Seabourn, and Costa Cruises, to name a few. Mid-priced cruise lines with Spain itineraries include Royal Caribbean, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, and  Norwegian Cruise Line. Budget-friendly cruise lines such as Carnival Cruises and Disney offer itineraries featuring stops in Spain. </p>
<p>The typical western Mediterranean cruises features stops in Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, and Sicily. The ports of call vary greatly, but Barcelona is one of the top stops in Spain. In Barcelona, there are hundreds of sights to see, but travel professionals and cruise critics say a Barcelona highlights tour that features the Gothic Quarter, Gaudi&#8217;s Sagrada Familia Church, and various urban vistas is a must for first-timers.</p>
<p>According to Cruisecritics.com, Western Mediterranean cruises are no longer limited to spring, summer and fall. Cruise lines such as Costa and MSC currently offer year-round voyages in the region. Barcelona and Marseilles still remain on many itineraries, “but some ships move further south, to Morocco and the Canary Islands, during the cooler months,” according to cruise critics.</p>
<p>If you are interested in saving money, try booking in early spring or late fall. During this time, rates are competitive and crowds are thin. If you are sailing with a family, try mid-June to mid-August. The prices will be higher during this time, but activities for kids are plentiful during these times.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are interested in taking a 5-day, 6-day, 7-day, 11-day or a 12-day cruise, <a href="http://www.hurtigruten.com/" target="_blank">Hurtigruten Cruises</a> has the perfect itinerary for all budgets and backgrounds. In fact, Hurtigruten offers both big and small ships cruises, as well as adventure cruises, and sightseeing cruises. Some cruises even stop in small towns and villages to deliver cargo. </p>
<p>“Hurtigruten” means “fast route” in Norwegian. In service since 1893, Hurtigruten sails to remote towns and villages throughout Norway’s 1,250-mile west coast. The villages and communities are often so remote, that some have fewer than 100 residents. The cruise line features 34 ports between Bergen and Kerkenes. Travelers can choose between Norway cruises, Antarctica Cruises, Spitsbergen Cruises, Greenland Cruises, and Europe Cruises.</p>
<p>Cruises take place aboard one of Hurtigruten’s dozen or so ships that travel along the Norwegian Coast. Hurtigruten’s fleet includes:</p>
<p><em>MS Lofoten<br />
MS Kong Harald<br />
MS Nordlys<br />
MS Nordkapp<br />
MS Nordnorge<br />
MS Richard With<br />
MS Polarlys<br />
MS Nordstjernen<br />
MS Finnmarken<br />
MS Midnatsol<br />
MS Trollfjord<br />
MS Vesterålen</em></p>
<p>Hurtigruten ships have the capacity to hold anywhere from 400 to 1,000 passengers. Each ship has its’ own amenities and itineraries. For example, MS Trollfjord along with sister ships MS Midnatsol and MS Finnmarken, can hold 822, 1,000 and 1,000 passengers, respectively. The collection features cafes, bars, conference rooms, Jacuzzis, and exercise rooms. </p>
<p>Trollfjord offers 7-day voyages North, 12-day round voyages beginning in Bergen and making three final stops before returning in Torvik, Maloy, and Floro. Prices for cruises aboard Trollfjord typically begin at 1438 (EUR)/$1,827.84 (US).</p>
<p>On the smaller end of the fleet, MS Lofoten holds only 400 passengers. Although small, MS Lofoten is named a listed vessel by the Norwegian Director General of Historic Monuments. She offers 5-day, 6-day, and 11-day voyages along the Norwegian Coast including:</p>
<p><em>11-day trip Bergen- Kirkenes -Bergen<br />
6-day journey from Bergen to Kirkenes<br />
5-day tour of Kirkenes –Bergen</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It takes an adventurous spirit to work on a cruise ship and an even more adventurous spirit to work on a yacht or sailing ship. Yachts and sailing ships can offer over-the-top extravagance or the bare minimum. It just depends on the nature of the sailing. For example, many European river cruises offer the bare minimum because the cruise is all about exploration, not fine dining and casinos, whereas some yacht cruises hire world class chefs and renowned captains to cater to their VIP-like guests. </p>
<p>Jobs on yachts or sailing ships are not as plentiful as jobs on larger ships. The crews are smaller and they typically do not hire entertainers, large numbers of cocktail servers or bar staff, or large numbers of retail personnel. This means competition is fierce for jobs on yachts and sailing ships, but if you have what it takes to compete, you have a good chance of landing one of these coveted positions. Potential captains, chefs, and crewmembers should begin the employment process by either signing with a placement agency or contacting the yacht or sailing ship directly. </p>
<p><strong>To contact the yacht or sailing ship directly</strong>, visit the cruise ships/line  website.  You can locate the <strong>OFFICIAL</strong> website by visiting <a href="http://www.shipsandcruises.com/cruise_lines.htm" target="_blank">Ships and Cruises Directory</a>. Once you have located several sailing ships or yachts you would like to work for, visit the website and search around for job postings. Most cruise line websites have a career center or job postings page. </p>
<p>If the cruise line lists job openings, remember to <strong>follow the application procedure to the letter</strong>. Applicants that do not follow directions are typically passed over in favor of those that do. If the cruise line does not list job openings on its site, send a polished cover letter and resume to the cruise lines’ Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is typically located at the cruise lines headquarters. This information is usually listed on the cruise line website. It is important to include the position you are interested in so that it can be directed to the appropriate department manager.</p>
<p><strong>To sign up with a placement agency</strong>, you should begin by identifying the top agencies in the industry. Next, you should submit your resume, references, and any certifications or designations you may have. The placement agency will call you in for an interview to assess your background, skills, and needs and match them to positions they may have available or positions they will seek out. </p>
<p>The following list includes top agencies in the field and contact information. Good luck!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In some cases, European cruise lines will lean towards hiring European citizens and in others a work visa may be acceptable. It is important to note that there are a number of different “agencies” and websites that will guarantee a position on a European cruise line for a “fee.” ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most luxury cruise lines travel to Europe on regular basis, but not too many are actually based in Europe. MSC Cruises and Costa Cruise Lines are two of the top European Cruise Lines, but Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and even Carnival Cruise Lines offer European itineraries. So which would you prefer? A cruise line based in Europe or a cruise line that travels to Europe? If you prefer Europe as a base, but you are an American citizen you will have to contact the cruise line directly to find out about requirements and any documentation that may be needed. In some cases, European cruise lines will lean towards hiring European citizens and in others a work visa may be acceptable. It is important to note that there are a number of different “agencies” and websites that will guarantee a position on a European cruise line for a “fee.” Think twice about paying for this type of service. You should never, ever have to pay to obtain a position or information about a position. </p>
<p>So to get started with looking for jobs on European cruise lines OR cruise lines that feature European itineraries, visit the cruise lines’ official website first. You may locate the cruise lines’ <strong>OFFICIAL</strong> website by visiting the <a href="http://www.shipsandcruises.com/cruise_lines.htm" target="_blank">Ships and Cruises Directory</a> for official listings. Once you have located the website – whether it’s MSC or Norwegian, visit the <strong>OFFICIAL</strong> website and search around for job postings. Most cruise line websites have a career center or job postings page. </p>
<p>If the cruise line lists job openings, search for a position that matches your skill set. This is very important. Top cruise lines only hire the best, so don’t waste your time or theirs by applying for a cruise director position if your skill set is better suited to a deckhand position (see departments and jobs at the end of this article). Next, <strong>follow the application procedure to the letter</strong>. Applicants that do not follow directions are typically passed over in favor of those that do. If the cruise line does not list job openings on its site, send a polished cover letter and resume to the cruise lines’ Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is typically located at the cruise lines headquarters. This information is usually listed on the cruise line website. It is important to include the position you are interested in so that it can be directed to the appropriate department manager.</p>
<p>For more information about jobs on cruise ships visit <a href=" http://www.cruiseshipjob.com" target="_blank">Cruise Ship Jobs</a> online. Here, you can download the 2010 cruise ship employment guide (it is totally up to you if you want to pay for it); you can read through cruise line profiles (for free); you can find out which ships are hiring and for what positions (for free) &#8212; and you can apply for a cruise ship job right online (for a fee, not recommended). </p>
<p><strong>Types of Jobs on European Cruise Lines</strong></p>
<p>Jobs on cruise ships will fall under several categories: Activity/Entertainment Department, Deck &#038; Engineering Department, Service &#038; Hospitality Department, Personal Care Department and Office Positions. </p>
<p>Jobs on cruise ships in the <strong>Activity/Entertainment Department</strong> are considered some of the most glamorous jobs aboard the ship. These positions deal with anything relating to passenger entertainment. This department includes: DJs, Production Managers, Photographers, Managers, Casino Staff, Host/Hostess and Cruise Consultant, to name a few. Those best suited for jobs in this department are typically enthusiastic and extroverted. </p>
<p>The <strong>Deck &#038; Engineering Department</strong> is one of the most important departments on the vessel &#8211;without it the ship would never set sail. This department is responsible for maintaining and running the vessel. Please note that the positions in this department are not typically entry-level positions, especially on large ships. The department consists of deckhands, maintenance workers, engineers, and officers. These positions help to motor or sail the ship, attend to the physical maintenance needs of the ship, and keep it in accordance with fleet regulations and international maritime laws. Officers are in charge of passenger safety as well.</p>
<p>Staff members in the <strong>Service/Hospitality Department </strong>or <strong>Hotel Management Department </strong>have the responsibility of managing the bars &#038; restaurants and passenger cabins, as well as shipboard retail concessions like gift shops. Just a few Service/Hospitality positions include: Hotel Manager, Cabin Stewards/Stewardesses, Accountant, Executive Chef, Wine Steward, Chief Purser, Purser Staff, Chief Purser, Bellman, Pastry Chef and the list goes on and on. Most service positions such as bartenders, waiters and cocktail servers can earn a good amount of extra money from tips. </p>
<p>No cruise would be complete without a department devoted to helping passengers pamper themselves. The <strong>Personal Care Department </strong>includes spa, fitness, beauty and medical services. It helps manage hair stylists, manicurists, massage therapists, fitness instructors, beauty therapists, spa attendants, nurses and physicians all dedicated to the well-being of passengers.</p>
<p>Most <strong>office positions </strong>are onshore &#8212; employees typically work in the main office performing administrative tasks, arranging cruises or performing general office tasks. Office positions generally fall under the following categories: Accounting, Administrative/Clerical, Air Operations, Marketing/PR and Reservations/Sales.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s perfectly legal and it&#8217;s perfectly innocent. Gentleman hosts on cruise ships are not unlike cruise ship hosts. Like hosts, they make sure guests are having a good time. The only difference is, gentleman hosts are responsible for showing individual female guests a good time. Female hosts are rare on cruise ships for several reasons. For starters, the male to female ratio on cruise ships is very high, especially in the “mature” age group (55+). This means gentleman hosts are in higher demand. This also helps close the gap between the male and female population onboard. In addition (in some cases, not all), “female host” might be taken the wrong way. </p>
<p>A gentleman host is not your average Joe. Gentleman hosts are typically well educated, healthy and fit, and they are usually well versed in dances such as the waltz, the fox trot, ballroom, and other formal dances. Gentleman hosts are also good conversationalists, they enjoy a variety of different social engagements, and they are well groomed and attractive. The majority of gentleman hosts are between the ages of 40-70 and retired or semi-retired from retired law, business, travel, finance, medicine, military and education industries. Gentleman hosts must be single, widowed or divorced. </p>
<p>In addition to free travel, gentleman hosts receive free accommodations, meals, and a small stipend. Gentlemen hosts must have their own attire and grooming supplies. Gentleman hosts will also carry their own health insurance and they must also pay for any extras such as excursions and gambling. </p>
<p>Now that you know all about what it takes to be a gentleman host, the next question is, how do I become a gentleman host on luxury cruise ships? For starters, you should sign up with an agency. One of the top agencies for gentleman hosts is The Working Vacation Inc. The Working Vacation Inc. is a consulting placement agency that places gentleman hosts, presenters, speakers, and lectures on cruise ships. Please visit the official The Working Vacation website to get started at <em>www.theworkingvacation.com</em>. If you prefer to contact the cruise line of your choice directly, visit the <a href="http://www.shipsandcruises.com/cruise_lines.htm" target="_blank">Ships and Cruises Directory</a> to locate the web address. Once you have located the web address, follow the steps below to ensure a smooth process. </p>
<p>If the cruise line lists job openings, follow the application procedure to the letter. Applicants that do not follow directions are typically passed over in favor of those that do. If the cruise line does not list job openings on its site, send a polished cover letter and resume to the cruise lines Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is typically located at the cruise lines headquarters. This information is usually listed on the cruise line website. It is important to include the position you are interested in so that it can be directed to the appropriate department manager. After a week or two, feel free to make a follow-up call to inquire about your application. It is important to be brief and polite. Remember, you never get a second chance to make first impression!</p>
